Hi guys
If your willing to spend $60 on a top quality Coast flashlight for one of these awesome Cu modules then the HP7 is the go, the inner diameter of the head is 35mm as you will see in these pics a little force with your fingers and the module will press in to the aluminium head, However there is a lip that needs to be dremeled down on the inside of the head for the module to press fully flush with the bezel,
It's a shame all the Coast flashlights have there head glued together and this is the only way to get it apart,
Gentley break the acrilc lens in small pieces and remove from the top, then unscrew the 3 screws, extract the plastic led holder also through the top.
now you can put some long nose pliers in the two holes in the pill and twist the host untill it unscrews out,
the pill won't pop out untill the end when you have the head open,
There is a plastic washer on the threads you need to access so melt the washer and prie it out also,
now you can see and have access to the threads that are glued, there might be other chemicals that will work but I had and use Lactic Acid worked on 3 different Coasts so far,
pore some on the threads and let it work its way down for a few hours, then I heat the threads from the inside with a small butane torch and with a little force from your hands it should break free.
Believe me there is no other way, you need to get some acid on those threads and the only way is from the inside, anyway with this information anyone can pull one apart to use as a host for a laser,
In my opinion this HP7 is the perfect size and shape for a high power laser and the clicky is exceptional
You could use its original 4 battery holder with 3 10440 IMRs and a buck driver or you can mod the holder to take a Minke 26500 lion with a boost driver.
I won't have this one finished for a while since I'm still working on the Led Lenser and can't find time, But I will post a thread when it's done!
Thanks.
